Tips
• Children, who are more than 6 years old, should be
scanned with an adult protocol.
• The second recon job is defined with kernel C60s
and with an overlap for visualizing bone structures
with MPR.
• If the study is focused on bone structure only, the
mAs can be reduced to 20 for all age groups.
